PERCEPÇÃO DAS PUÉRPERAS SOBRE A ASSISTÊNCIA HUMANIZADA DE ENFERMAGEM NO CICLO GRAVÍDICO-PUERPERAL: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Objective: To analyze in the literature the perception of postpartum women about humanized nursing care provided during the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. Methods: This is an integrative review based on the following guiding question: “What is the perception of postpartum women about the humanized nursing care provided in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle?”. The search for articles was carried out in the BDENF, LILACS and SciELO databases, from the controlled descriptors “Humanization of Care”, “Obstetric Nursing” and “Nursing Care”. Results: The sample totaled 12 articles, which pointed out both positive and negative aspects of humanized nursing care. On the positive aspects, the following were highlighted: in prenatal care, the creation of a bond between professional-patient and as educational actions in health; in the scope of childbirth, professional empathy was emphasized and as good practices recommended by the Cegonha Network and the World Health Organization; in the puerperium context, the nurses' concern with the women's comfort and well-being was revealed. On the negative aspects, one can highlight the execution of procedures without the puerperal woman's prior authorization, reports of coercion and violation of the right to a companion, and non-puerperium to educational health actions aimed at preventing puerperal and/or breast complications. Conclusion: The nurse must be guided by humanization, exercising an idealizing posture of a caregiver character, so that their practice can happen with a view to the realization of women's sexual and reproductive rights before and after the pregnancy-puerperal cycle.
